I’m building a small block 408 and need help picking out a cam that is good for a street / strip Cuda on pump gas or E-85 if required. I’m a little concerned about the compression and know the cam selection is critical. Below are the details of the build:
1974 360 block, .030 over, cylinders race honed with plates, sonic tested, deck trued, line honed.
.030 Diamond pistons part #51026.
Eagle H-beam rods
Eagle Forged 4.00" crankshaft.
Edelbrock #60775 63cc aluminum cylinder heads.
Compression should be between 10.5 and 11 with the 63cc heads (Could I reduce this with Cometic head gaskets?)
Stall is 2600 - 2800 and 3.91 rear
Also looking for a good shop to port the heads that can turn them around in a few months.
Thanks for the help
Jim
